%descriptionCrypt::GeneratePassword generates random passwords that are(more or less) pronounceable. Unlike Crypt::RandPasswd, itdoesn&#39;t use the FIPS-181 NIST standard, which is proven to beinsecure. It does use a similar interface, so it should be adrop-in replacement in most cases.

If you want to use passwords from a different language than english,you can use one of the packaged alternate unit tables or generateyour own. See below for details.

For details on why FIPS-181 is insecure and why the solutionused in this module is reasonably secure, see "A New Attack onRandom Pronounceable Password Generators" by Ravi Ganesan andChris Davies, available online in may places - use yourfavourite search engine.

This module improves on FIPS-181 using a true random selection withthe word generator as mere filter. Other improvements arebetter pronounceability using third order approximation insteadof second order and multi-language support.Drawback of this method is that it is usually slower. Then again,computer speed has improved a little since 1977.
